Hi folks, I've recently installed 2.4 and wanted to have a play around with devfs, so I compiled into into the kernel, and built devfsd from sid:
ii devfsd 1.3.10-5 Daemon for the device filesystem I like the idea of devfs, and generally it's working pretty well for me. The only major annoyance so far is that I can't seem to access my IDE cd-rom. I have 1 scsi cd-rom, 1 scsi cd burner, and 1 ide cd-rom. I can access the scsi cds fine, and they both show up under /dev/cdroms: [rei:~]% ls -l /dev/cdroms total 0 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 34 Jan 1 1970 cdrom0 -> ../scsi/host0/bus0/target2/lun0/cd lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 34 Jan 1 1970 cdrom1 -> ../scsi/host0/bus0/target3/lun0/cd So why doesn't my ide cd show up? The cd-rom driver is built as a module: [rei:~]% grep IDECD /boot/config-2.4.0-ac11 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=m and is loaded: [rei:~]% /sbin/lsmod|grep cdrom cdrom 26720 0 (autoclean) [sr_mod] I'm pretty sure (though not 100%) that it was working with 2.4 before devfs, but it's a pain to reboot to find out! Has anyone any suggestions? Am I missing something, or is it likely to be a hardware issue? cheers, damon -- Damon Muller | Did a large procession wave their torches Criminologist/Linux Geek | As my head fell in the basket, http://killfilter.com | And was everybody dancing on the casket...
